11th May It's literally Dr Who?


It is the question on everyones lips...Dr Who? Because let's be honest unless you happen to have Netflix and happen to have watched Sex Education then you like most of the world probably don't have a scooby as to who Ncuti Gatwa actually is.

Far right supporter and ardent Brexiteer, Ray Cist, who up until this anouncement had never shown the slightest interest in the trials and tribulations of the travelling Time Lord was quick to adopt his keyboard warrior position and question the appointment, "Is he the one who played Luther? No, oh then is it the one who drove Miss Daisy? No, well is the one who got slapped at the Oscars then? Really, then he must be the one who played Lenny Henry?"

"Don't get me wrong I'm all for diversity providing they don't do any more of those dances about Keith Floyd. But isn't this new one...uhm, well you know... a bit too d.., a shade too d..., delicate. Yes that's the word. Just look at him, he's so d..., delicate.  I am not sure how that will help him to be the Doctor. I mean just look at all the other Doctors, they were big straping specimins who could tackle a Dalek in hand to uhm probe combat if nessesary. This one seems a bit too light on his feet if you know what I mean."

"I thought it was bad enough with those one from Manchester and Scotland but then they went and chose a women last time. I mean what was all that about for heaven's sake. Women becoming doctors, whatever next. and from Yorkshire too."

"As for this new Doctor, well as I've said I'm as open minded as the rest of my neo Nazi mates, but isn't' he, well you know....isn't he...uhm....far too d...delicate to play the doctor. Surely a middle age anglo saxon male from the Home Counties who likes chasing the fillies all over the galaxy would be a better choice".

6th May Olbia

Image
  A chance to stretch our legs today with our first port of call; Olbia, Sardinia. And it was a quick stretch too due to it being only a five hour stay. Up bright and early, so early in fact that the hot food at the buffet wasn't even ready to be served. Still it gave us a chance to watch the ship glide into port past a host of oyster/mussel beds, before performing a 180 degree turn to reverse into it's berth. A couple of short bus rides later and we were in downtown Olbia. But there an hour or so before anything appeared to open, the disadvantage of being early birds and something we don't seem to learn! Not that Olbia had a great deal to see or maybe if we had done the slightest bit of planning beforehand there might have benn but we didn't. It was pleasant enough but that's about it. It was pleasant enough but nothing special, indeed we were back on the ship after just a couple of hours ashore and then managed to sleep away most of th...

7th May Naples

Image
 I'm sure I've heard the phrase 'see Naples and die' suggesting that it is perhaps not the nicest location in the Mediterranean but if it's good enough for Diego Maradona fir a few years then it's good enough for me for 10 hours. Although the millions of tax free pounds he was paid might have eased his stay. By the time we got up, washed, dressed and up to The Kitchens, the rest of the ship were already there. Compared to the Marie Celeste of yesterday it was absolutely packed, presumably with people having breakfast before heading out on 8am excursions, our excursion was simply going to be the city of Naples itself as possible trips to Vesuvius, Pompei or the Amalfi coast would have been too much / tired.  So on a day when the weather initially seemed uncertain, we jumped aboard route A for the Hop on Hop off bus and headed out into the mayhem that is the Napoli traffic where it was every van, car and scooter for the selves. I think it's bes...
